CHINA:
Beijing Program Associated Colleges in China
An intensive language program offered by the ACC, this program is
administered by Hamilton College and hosted by the Capital University
of Economics and Business in Beijing. Courses are offered in intermediate
and advanced Chinese. Students intending to begin their second year
of Chinese with ACC must begin the program in the summer term, since
that is the only time when second semester Chinese is offered. Students
beginning their third or fourth year of Chinese may enroll in the
summer, fall or spring terms. In addition to intensive individual
and small group language instruction, courses are offered in modern
Chinese society, literature, history, philosophy, and cinema. Students
participate in language practicums in which they are required to
use their Chinese outside the classroom with local citizens through
information-gathering and interviews. Extracurricular activities,
such as calligraphy, cooking, and tai chi are also provided and
encouraged. In the interest of total immersion, participants are
required to sign a language pledge that only Chinese will be spoken
while on the program. In additional to weekly local excursions in
Beijing, several longer field trips are offered to places of cultural
interest in various parts of China. Students are housed in dormitories
and assigned to a host family whom they may visit during weekends.
Eligibility: intermediate level Mandarin Chinese.
